Import Tips
• Use commercial invoices specifying Pangasius hypophthalmus to distinguish from channel catfish (Ictalurus spp.), which may have different statistical suffixes
• Check for country-specific restrictions; Vietnam-origin swai often requires additional residue testing for veterinary drugs
• Label as 'frozen fish fillets' per FDA; mislabeling as steaks can trigger reclassification and penalties
